Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?

  In many jobs that is just asking for liars to front during the job interview

    Everyone lies in interviews. However, a lot of people don’t understand what will make them desirable so they lie about the wrong thing.

    Someone who understands the role enough to lie to make themselves seem desirable is better than someone who doesn’t.

      This is basically what a psychotic would say

        Sure. It’s also what anyone who’s ever hired anyone would say.

  Of course lol obviously I want a team member that works hard and is motivated. But also, people can change. Things happen in their lives that change their motivations and needs.

  If they just want money, that’s fine, but I’ve seen and experienced how pushing someone who is working decently (or great, even) can cause their performance to tank if they didn’t want to be pushed in first place.

  Managing large teams is less about managing their work and more about managing the people so that they can work more effectively.

    Everything you’ve said here is pretty much the opposite of your initial “minimum job requirements” comment.

    Well done for realizing that within three years. It’s true for smaller teams as well, but with a smaller team, it’s possible to get away with managing their work, it just won’t be nearly as effective.
